All current spinning loops retry an atomic op the first chance they get,
which leads to performance degradation under load.
One classic solution to the problem consists of delaying the test to an
extent. This implementation has a trivial linear increment and a random
factor for each attempt.
For simplicity, this first thouch implementation only modifies spinning
loops where the lock owner is running. spin mutexes and thread lock were
not modified.
Current parameters are autotuned on boot based on mp_cpus.
Autotune factors are very conservative and are subject to change later.

It looks like the msgrcv() system call is already written in such a way

ssize_t. It's just that the userspace prototype doesn't match up.
specifics of callout KPI. Esp., do not depend on the exact interface
of callout_stop(9) return values.
The main change is that instead of requiring precise callouts, code
maintains absolute time to wake up. Callouts now should ensure that a
wake occurs at the requested moment, but we can tolerate both run-away
callout, and callout_stop(9) lying about running callout either way.
As consequence, it removes the constant source of the bugs where
sleepq_check_timeout() causes uninterruptible thread state where the
thread is detached from CPU, see e.g. r234952 and r296320.
Patch also removes dual meaning of the TDF_TIMEOUT flag, making code
(IMO much) simpler to reason about.

target. Due to a way issignal() selects the next signal to deliver
and report, if the simultaneous or already pending another signal
exists, that signal might be reported by the next waitpid(2) call.
This causes minor annoyance for debuggers, which must be prepared to
take any signal as the first event, then filter SIGSTOP later.
More importantly, for tools like gcore(1), which attach and then
detach without processing events, SIGSTOP might leak to be delivered
after PT_DETACH. This results in the process being unintentionally
stopped after detach, which is fatal for automatic tools.
The solution is to force SIGSTOP to be the first signal reported after
the attach. Attach code is modified to set P2_PTRACE_FSTP to indicate
that the attaching ritual was not yet finished, and issignal() prefers
SIGSTOP in that condition. Also, the thread which handles
P2_PTRACE_FSTP is made to guarantee to own p_xthread during the first
waitpid(2). All that ensures that SIGSTOP is consumed first.
Additionally, if P2_PTRACE_FSTP is still set on detach, which means
that waitpid(2) was not called at all, SIGSTOP is removed from the
queue, ensuring that the process is resumed on detach.
In issignal(), when acting on STOPing signals, remove the signal from
queue before suspending. Otherwise parallel attach could result in
ptracestop() acting on that STOP as if it was the STOP signal from the
attach. Then SIGSTOP from attach leaks again.
As a minor refactoring, some bits of the common attach code is moved
to new helper proc_set_traced().

Issue is that boottime* should be adjusted from tc_windup(), which

preparation, this commit only introduces the interface.
Some uses of boottime were found doubtful, e.g. NLM uses boottime to
